WE WILL!
The following exchange occurred at the Hotel Anatole, where there was a conference, and the participants were wearing badges that said "WE WILL." I read a guy's name-tag (a bit stalkerish, I know) as he walked by...
Me: Hey Jim! Jim!
Jim: (as he was looking through his cell phone) Yeah? (perplexed)
Me: What will you do?
Jim: Excuse me?
Me: Your tag, it says "We Will." What will you do? Or y'all do?
Jim: We will change the world!
One of the guys at my table, Jeff: How?
Jim: (pause) Same day vaccinations!
We later found out Jim was full of crap. We asked another guy wearing a name tag and he said they were at a Sales Conference, and it was their cheesy them. My table had a good laugh trying to figure out what the heck "same day vaccinations" meant... whether it was for children or animals or something else. I gave Jim made props for his keen wit and ability to think on his feet.

16 Things About Annie Ann
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them.
You have to tag the person who tagged you.
1. I have a new found obsession with "The O.C." Well, maybe it isn't new, but reclaimed. And I'm not afraid to tell the world. I'm holding out for some used copies of seasons three and four.
2. Along with number one, I tend to have an affinity with trashy t.v. If I had cable and even an antenna, I'd waste so much time watching things that include (but aren't limited to) America's Next Top Model marathons, Sheer Genius, Project Runway, 90210, American Idol, One Tree Hill, and Gossip Girl.
3. I really like argyle. I wish more people wore it and wore it regularly.
4. I have an obsession with couples that are supposed to be together ending up together, and I don't like it when things end without the intended reconciliation. Think Ross and Rachel, Seth and Summer, Luke and Lorelai, Jack and Kate, Ron and Hermione... I know I'm just living vicariously through these characters.
5. With that said, I hate what rom-coms have done to this world. It has given us all unreal expectations of relationships and men. A girl I just met shared a most enlightening and convicting thing in conversation just this past week. It was something I heard before but it still made my heart soft. She stated how beautiful she thought dancing was, at it reflects best the way God intended relationships to be: a man leading a woman, and a woman learning to follow. It was such a simple and beautiful reflection on God's plan for relationships.
6. I've never been happier in a job for the amount of time that I've been happy at my current job. I have hope that I have found the right place for me to grow.
7. My friend Kristy is responsible for my nickname of "Annie Ann." It was the product of confusion when I revealed that my middle name was "Ann." She was unaware that my first name is actually Valeria. Oddly enough, my boss calls me "Annie Ann" on a semi-regular basis without any knowledge of this foundation.
8. I have an obsession with my name. I find myself jealous when I meet other girls named "Annie" because I feel like they're trying to steal my thunder. I also once googled for songs with my name in the title, downloaded them, and put them on a CD.
9. I'm more self-absorbed than I tend to let on.
10. I have the greatest friends in the world. And I'm not biased.
11. I think Oreos are the greatest cookies known to man.
12. I like to alphabetize things. It makes me feel a sense of order. I also have to have the microwave timer and the volume set to multiples of five.
13. I like knowing if a guy can grow facial hair. But the five o'clock shadow is my favorite look. It makes me think, "now that's a man."
14. I'm boy crazy, which isn't a surprise to anyone here, I'm sure.
15. One of my favorite things to do is roll down the windows, open the sun roof, and sing along with music as loud as possible while I drive. This enjoyment increases exponentially with every friend in the car with me.
16. If *NSYNC were to reunite, I would spend any amount of money to see them in concert one more time. Even though Lance is gay.
1. Amy, Cara, Katy, Martha, and Richie - because they tagged me.
5. Sara, Heather, and Kelsey - because they already did it.
9. Benj, Justin, Graham, Natalie, Jim, and Linda - because you can't NOT tag the Poctas
15. Michelle and Lindsay - because I miss them.
17. Erin - because I want the entire Plex included
At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them.

Whataburger Can Make Your Day
Today I ran by Whataburger for my day-off treat to pick up some lunch for my roommate and me. Usually, Whataburger in and of itself is plenty for a brief happy moment, but today I was granted a day's worth of happiness. I'll leave you with the dialog exchange from the drive-thru:
I pulled up to the window to see a woman standing there with our food, ready to hand if off. I asked for some ketchup, pepper, and sweetn'low. From there a guy, the manager I presumed, looked over her and said:
Manager: Have you played in movies?
Me: No, no I haven't.
Manager: You look like you have.
Me: comedic hair-toss Why thank you!
Manager: Shake it girl.
Thank you, Whataburger, for adding some calorie free sweet talk to my caloric festivities.

On Vacation I go...
I'm off to Philadelphia until Monday. I'll get to spend two fun-filled days in New York, as well. I'm quite excited about my first adventure to the Northeast. Hopefully I'll have a nice update when I return.
